Atlantic Plaza Towers is an apartment complex in Brooklyn where the landlord has been making preparations to add another layer to existing security elements that include cameras, security guards and key fobs that govern access to the complex. The new element is a facial recognition system that has creeped out some tenants enough that a group of more than 130 of them has reportedly filed an official complaint with the state, citing privacy concerns. And it’s a development that comes as San Francisco just days ago became the first US city to outright ban the technology’s use by police and government officials, even as its use continues to expand around the country. Don't Miss : The Nintendo Switch’s biggest design flaw can be fixed with this $10 accessory Icemae Downes, a resident who’s lived at Atlantic Plaza Towers since its opening 51 years ago, told The Guardian that “We do not want to be tagged like animals. We are not animals. We should be able to freely come in and out ...

We may have sounded a little extreme when we predicted back in December that Onward , Pixar’s next original feature slated for release on March 6, 2020, would easily recapture the magic of the beloved animation studio’s glory days and tap into the same storytelling and visual prowess that gave us gems like Toy Story . Take a look at the just-released trailer for the film, though, and see if you don’t agree. Pixar made public this first look at footage from the film tonight during the NBA finals, and you can check it out below. Don't Miss : The Nintendo Switch’s biggest design flaw can be fixed with this $10 accessory Get a load of this. I think it looks fantastic. I'm psyched and very happy to be working with my friends @Pixar once again. #PixarOnward pic.twitter.com/DSLNKNFXsD — Julia Louis-Dreyfus (@OfficialJLD) May 31, 2019 Director Dean Scanlon, who also directed Monster University , has previously described the movie as a combination of everyday life mixed wi...

It wouldn’t have taken much for Microsoft to top its Games with Gold offering for May, but it only barely did so with the four free games coming to Xbox Live Gold subscribers next month. The highlight of the selection is NHL 19, which is actually a really solid sports game, and belongs in your library if you like hockey. Rivals of Aether is the other Xbox One title, and if you’re dying for a platform fighter kid, but don’t have a Switch with which to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , this should help tide you over. And if neither of those games piques your interest, you can always just play Portal , which is still one of the best games ever made.

The Toronto Raptors isn’t the only team rapper Drake is cheering for right now. Drake’s competitive gaming team, 100 Thieves, is also going for the gold by raising a fresh round of money that could allow it to win a slot in an up-and-coming Activision Blizzard video game league, The Post has learned. 100 Thieves,... from Technology News & Reviews | New York Post https://nyp.st/2WfcRV2

We often think of stars as things that don’t move around much, but in some galaxies, that’s far from a universal truth. New observations made by NASA’s powerful Chandra X-Ray Observatory reveal that some stars are routinely booted out of their own host galaxies and sent flying back out into space. The researchers spotted dozens of binary star pairs that had been, for lack of a better term, evicted from their homes after one of the two stars explodes into a supernova. Don't Miss : The Nintendo Switch’s biggest design flaw can be fixed with this $10 accessory NASA’s telescope observed several binary pairs, which are two stars orbiting one another at the heart of a star system, being flung far from their homes by the force of one of the stars exploding. When one of the stars blows up and then collapses in on itself to become a dense neutron star, the asymmetric force of that action can cause the star to be flung out of its established position. As the neutron star speeds away,...

Pixar fans just got a hint on Thursday morning that the next installment in the beloved Toy Story franchise will not only crush it at the box office as expected but that it will outpace last year’s massively successful Incredibles 2 . According to the movie ticket site Fandango, Toy Story 4 now holds the record for best first-day presales for an animated feature on Fandango ahead of the movie’s June 21 release. Don't Miss : The Nintendo Switch’s biggest design flaw can be fixed with this $10 accessory Tickets went on sale Tuesday at 12 noon PT, and Fandango in an announcement today noted that the new movie about the continuing escapades of a gang of life-like toys has outpaced other major titles like Pixar’s Incredibles 2 and Finding Dory . Toy Story 4 is also tracking well past live-action films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Beauty and the Beast . “Pixar’s ‘Toy Story’ movies mean the world to so many fans, and that’s very much reflected in the record presale...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is late to its own party, and it’s not just a little bit late. NASA originally planned to have the spacecraft ready to roll as early as 2007, but a laundry list of setbacks (and stupid human errors on the part of manufacturer Northrop Grumman ) have pushed the project back by over a decade and roughly 20 times its original cost. With that much cash dumped into a project, you can bet that NASA is eager to see some hints of serious progress, especially with its tentative 2021 launch window rapidly approaching. The good news is that half of the telescope just completed a round of testing at its manufacturing facility, besting a vacuum chamber designed to put it through conditions it would experience while in space. Don't Miss : The Nintendo Switch’s biggest design flaw can be fixed with this $10 accessory The telescope is being built in two parts. One half contains the telescope itself as well as various scientific instruments, and the other hal...
